ANTIREACTIVE ANTIASTHMIC EFFECT OF ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID BY INHALATION

摘要

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs proved to be effective drugs for combating and preventing asthma if administered by inhalation. Useful are for instance acetylsalicylic acid, and indomethacin, and ketoprofen, and tenoxicam. Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for inhalation are aerosols with a particle size of from 0.5 mu m to 7 mu m which enter the compartments of the lungs. Aqueous or aqueous-organic solutions or suspensions can be nebulized in combination with propelling agents, or mixtures of powders with microfine drugs can be administered using inhalers. These pharmaceutical compositions may comprise appropriate additives, in order to improve their relevant pharmaceutical properties.
